Prevalence of upper back pain among computer engineering students

Upper back pain is a common musculoskeletal problem that affects a significant proportion of the population worldwide. The prevalence of upper back pain is particularly high among individuals who spend long hours sitting in front of a computer, such as university computer engineering students. These students are required to spend a considerable amount of time working on computers, which can lead to poor posture, muscle tension, and discomfort in the upper back region. The study was an online cross-section survey on prevalence of upper back pain among university computer engineering students, both male and female of aged 18-25 years of computer engineering are included in this study. The study was taken among total of 248 computer engineering students. The study was conducted for a period of 9 months from August 2022 to April 2023.

上背痛是一种常见的肌肉骨骼疾患，在全球范围内累及相当比例的人群。该病症的患病率在长时间久坐使用电脑的人群中尤为偏高，其中以高校计算机工程专业学生为典型代表。此类学生需花费大量时长使用电脑完成学习与工作任务，这可能引发姿势不良、肌肉紧张及上背部区域不适感。本研究为一项在线横断面调查，旨在探究18至25岁的男女计算机工程专业大学生的上背痛患病率，研究共纳入248名符合该群体特征的学生，调研周期为2022年8月至2023年4月，共计9个月。
